Springfield Regal Theater closing, Joplin Northstar 14 to remain open

Regal is closing its theater in Springfield, according to an announcement on Regal College Station's Facebook page, but the Regal Northstar 14 in Joplin will remain open

The decision was made by Regal's parent company, Cineworld Group, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September.

The following statement was posted on the Springfield Regal's Facebook page:

Hello College Station Family,

We want to thank you for all of your support over the years as your downtown theatre. We have loved getting to know you and seeing the smiles on your faces as you experience the thrill of movies over the years. We are sad to announce that our doors will be closing permanently this next week with our last day of operation being 1/5/23. We invite you back for one last visit to say goodbye as we all move on to new things. If you are looking for another Regal to visit, we invite you to Regal Northstar in Joplin MO as the next closest theatre.

Best Wishes,
Your College Station Theatre
